Gwyneth needs her organic wine, and she needs it now. |
Gwyneth Paltrow says "Buy my overpriced cleanse!"... okay not really but that's the truth. Who would want to pay hundreds of dollars ($425 to be exact) to not eat anything but protein powder-ed "food" and a bunch of pills and vitamins? No thanks, not me. Oh but the occasional Glee guest star uses it- oh wait, still no thanks. As Williams says, "Suddenly, deep fried stuffing looks better and better." (Willaims 1).
The author basically hates the idea of a celebrity advertising for a cleanse for hundreds of dollars that probably won't even work. I actually think she's jealous of Goop. She writes as an added note, "Goop does note that the invitation to cleanse is 'not intended as medical advice' and is 'just a suggestion,' thereby covering Paltrow’s toned, slender butt." (Williams 1). Then she basically humiliates Paltrow's credibility and asks rhetorical questions like, "Not Emmy-winner Mariska Hargitay, who says that the system “has changed my life.” Not celebrity divorcee Demi Moore, who calls it “the best!” Mmm mmm, what could be better than a “filling” 90-calorie shake composed mostly of rice protein concentrate, rice bran and rice syrup solids?" (Willaims 1). She also deems her “tone deaf… Marie Antoinette” (Williams 1).

I'll pass on the $425 cleanse, not really necessary for the average person.
